When One Is Sick And Old
Rating: ★5.0
Sick Old Man
by symptoms, the other world, beckons
not ominous? too naive, one reckons
to plan big things
is, bravado's final fling
God gave much, now retire, as days tick-on

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Despite bodily symptoms, old people plan mega things; this is sheer bravado. Better is to retire and count one's blessings Ihave used Limerick format-but there is nothing funny in this poem!

An interesting argument, creatively presented in the format of a limerick. Nicely done, and food for thought.

Life on Earth is transitory! We should have a thought that we have to leave this world one day. Each one over sixty is on a bonus. When senility sets in, we have to accept that it is time to retire. Instead if we undertake herculean tasks, we are likely to get disappointed. A sagacious piece of advice. (10)
